Chapter 188 Buddha: I admit my inadequate supervision!
Chapter 188 Buddha: I admit my inadequate supervision!
When the Buddha said this, all the cultivators present were dumbfounded.
Good guy!
You, Tathagata, simply shirk all responsibility with a single sentence about inadequate supervision.
So it turns out we did all the evil deeds.
Maitreya then angrily said, "Buddha, you are not a human being!"
"It was clearly a group effort..."
Upon hearing this, Buddha shouted sternly, "Shut up!"
Together with what?
The matter was arranged by the two sages, but you were the ones who carried it out.
I'm just passing on a message, is there anything else?
Are you suggesting we discuss this together?
Are you consulting with me?
You are informing me!
I admit to inadequate oversight because I was indeed aware of the situation.
However, I am powerless to stop you.
That's all!
After refuting Maitreya, Tathagata said to Kunpeng, "Your Majesty, please!"
Wherever I go, I will not shirk my responsibilities.
However, no one should try to shift the responsibility onto me if it is not my responsibility.
After saying this, Buddha stepped out of the hall.
He was also thinking about what to do next.
Buddhism?
Screw Buddhism!
This place is no longer safe to stay.
From this day forward, there will be no more Buddhism in the primordial world.
Moreover, Haotian's intentions were quite clear: he was targeting the two Buddhist saints.
Targeting Buddhism first was merely a pretext to take action against the two holy figures of Buddhism.
He insisted that the two Buddhist saints had arranged the affair, which gave Haotian a reason to take action.
If that's really Haotian's intention, then maybe he still has a chance to live this time.
Haotian, perched atop the clouds above Mount Ling, saw the Buddha's demeanor and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
This time, Zhunti and Jieyin are finally in my hands.
The Three Pure Ones possess the legacy of Pangu and are somewhat irreplaceable; it's not easy for me to mess with them.
But what is the difference between Zhunti and Jieyin?
Does it have hair?
It doesn't even have a single hair, yet it keeps jumping around in front of me. If I don't mess with it, who should I mess with?
First, destroy Buddhism, thus severing the foundation of these two saints.
Let's see if Heaven will directly determine that these two are no longer able to repay their karmic debts.
The conditions for verification are also very simple: just take them down once.
If these two cannot be resurrected, it means that Heaven has abandoned them.
Allowing them to perish and fall is Heaven using its own hand to settle accounts with them.
But this matter is not urgent. Let's get all the Buddhist followers back to Heaven first.
Only after all the Buddhist followers have been dealt with and the Buddhist community has been completely dissolved can we then take action against Cundi and Jieyin.
Otherwise, if the order is reversed, everything will be in vain.
Meanwhile, in the Chaos Sumeru Mountain Dojo, Zhunti and Jieyin, seeing the Buddha's betrayal, had faces ashen.
After a moment of silence, Zhunti said in a gloomy tone, "Senior brother!"
It seems that the wicked Buddha cannot be allowed to live!
Even if he manages to escape this time, we'll still have to have the Three Corpses (a group of powerful beings) put him to ashes later.
Otherwise, we fear we would have no face to stand in this primordial world anymore.
Upon hearing Zhunti's words, Jieyin's solemn expression grew even heavier.
He immediately replied, "Junior brother!"
Let's not rush things concerning the Buddha!
The question now is, what exactly is Haotian planning to do with this move?
After this incident, Buddhism was effectively destroyed.
It was even worse than the Tongtian Jie Sect.
The karmic debts we owe have not yet been repaid.
Now that Buddhism has been destroyed, how should we, in the eyes of Heaven, conduct ourselves?
Is our holy position still secure?
All of this remains to be seen.
Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti asked in surprise, "Does Senior Brother mean that Haotian wants us to perish?"
But we are saints.
Saints are immortal and indestructible!

Upon hearing this, Jieyin replied, "Immortal and indestructible?"
Junior brother seems to have forgotten what that person from Zixiao Palace said.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti exclaimed in horror, "That's right!"
Haotian is probably testing us this time.
What should we do?
Upon hearing this, Jieyin said with a firm expression, "Now that we are confined to chaos, it is impossible for us to stop Haotian."
The only thing we can do is fight Haotian.
If we win, then everything will be fine.
If we lose, then all will be over.
Even if we can be resurrected once, what about a second time?
How should we deal with other sages?
Although the Three Pure Ones are at odds, the Tongtian Sect Leader has a blood feud with us that led to the destruction of our sect.
Even if Taishang and Yuanshi wouldn't make things difficult for us, they would never stop Tongtian.
At that time, the Tongtian Sect Leader will only need to borrow a spiritual treasure from Haotian, and he will have the power to bring us to our deaths.
They didn't kill us before because our foundation was still intact. They knew that no matter how fiercely they fought, it would only end in a hasty retreat.
Now that Buddhism is gone, it's been determined that we've lost our foundation.
The Tongtian Sect Leader would not stand idly by any longer.
The resurrection of us by Heaven must have come at a price.
If we perish too many times, who knows if Heaven will abandon us?
Moreover, the one in Zixiao Palace holds the power of Heaven.
Once he abandons us, it's likely that Heaven will also abandon us.
As for our holy position?
There are countless cultivators in the primordial world; we can simply support one more.
"It would probably be easier to establish a new sage than to keep consuming the Heavenly Dao."
After the guide finished speaking, Zhunti fell silent.
After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Senior brother!"
It seems we have no choice but to take a gamble!
I just don't know where Haotian got the courage to actually try to take advantage of us?
Could it be the law of the Emperor?
Upon hearing this, Jieyin shook his head and said, "Let's just wait and see!"
You'll find out then!
Upon hearing this, Zhunti said in a low voice, "It's just a pity about Maitreya and the others!"
After this, even if we go to the prehistoric world to spread our teachings again, we can still do so.
It's hard to find one with deep roots anymore.
The foundation for a renewed flourishing of Buddhism has been lost.
Upon hearing this, Jieyin shook his head and said, "Given the current situation, it would be good enough if Buddhism could be re-established."
As for the rest?
We can only proceed gradually.
Jieyin and Zhunti now knew Haotian's scheme.
Meanwhile, Haotian escorted a group of Buddhist cultivators back to the Heavenly Court under the watchful eyes of all the cultivators in the prehistoric world.
The Heavenly Execution Platform!
The sky was clear and blue, and countless flags fluttered in the wind.
Tens of millions of heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded the Execution Platform completely.
Kunpeng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty!"
All the heretics and evil sects within Buddhism have been apprehended and brought to justice!
Please advise on how to handle this, Your Majesty!
Upon hearing this, Haotian glanced at the gods and then said in a deep voice, "Buddhist cultivators also originated from the lineage of Zixiao Palace."
Unfortunately, the two Buddhist saints betrayed the Xuanmen sect, thus deviating from the orthodox path and ultimately embarking on the path of evil and heresy.
All of you immortals should take this as a warning and must not harbor any thoughts of deviating from the orthodox path.
Otherwise, one day they will embark on a path of evil and heresy, from which there is no turning back.
Now that all the evil spirits and heretics have been captured and brought to justice, let's begin the process of dealing with them.
Tathagata!
As Haotian finished speaking, Tathagata's figure appeared on the Execution Platform.
Haotian glanced at it, then slowly said, "Buddha!"
You are a disciple of the Jie Sect, and also belong to the Xuanmen (Mysterious Sect).
Unfortunately, during a great calamity, he was harmed by the Chan Sect in collusion with evil sects and was forced to join the evil path.
He later became the leader of an evil sect, but failed to guide them towards good.
Although it was due to a lack of ability, the guilt is hard to erase.
"I hereby deduct your cultivation from your community, subjecting you to ten kalpas of karmic fire hell, before you are reborn to begin your cultivation anew."
